Passionate conservationists, Vine House Farm are leading the way in wildlife-friendly farming - growing, packaging and dispatching the vast majority of bird seed they sell from their Lincolnshire farm, ensuring their family-run business always operates with the environment in mind.

Vine House Farm grow seed specifically for bird food. They process and pack the seed at the farm and so are able to supply high quality products at low prices and with a relatively low carbon footprint.

The story started in 1982 when Nicholas Watts, owner of the farm in Deeping St Nicholas, Lincolnshire, wanted to know which birds were breeding on his farm. Every year he walked his land and recorded the birds he saw and by 1992 he realised that the numbers had been dropping dramatically.

Since then, Nicholas and his family have implemented all sorts of conservation measures on the farm. They started by feeding birds on a large scale and it was from the interest generated around this activity that the company grew to the Vine House Farm we know today.
